Fish in a bubble

Hi, I made this card this morning but couldn't post it until tonight. We decided to drive to Brisbane today instead of Sunday as I was worried we'd get flooded in. My husband is flying to Tasmania for a holiday and I didn't want him to miss his flight!

I'm entering this week's CASology challenge where the cue word is circles. I'm also entering the Addicted to CAS challenge where the code word is Masculine.
 
Materials used: the tiny fish stamp is Hero Arts and the other fish is one I've had for ages in my stash;  Kaiser Craft sentiment stamp; Spellbinders circle dies; Memory Box Twigs & Berries die; Tiny bubbles embossing folder; distress ink; markers.
 
Thanks for looking:)

Edited to add : I was surprised and excited to discover that this card made the Top 3 at Addicted to CAS. Thank you so much for the encouragement everyone :)
( I couldn't work out how to put the badge in my side bar, but I managed to add a top tab and put it on a new page. Still so much about blogging to learn!!)

Fab card for a masculine card! Had a quick look at your site, and am very impressed with all your CAS cards - I struggle quite a bit, but would like to persevere as I love this style when it is well executed. Congrats on your approach to a masculine card - one outside the square. Hugs and thanks for visiting my blog.
